    Man, after 2 weeks of relative quiet, I had forgotten how much the older kid talks.

    I'm now paying $1.80 per square foot for monthly rent. Somehow I think that's still a good deal here.

  10. I update the content on our website. My dean wants our computer people to have TOTAL control over it, so I met with him to devise a plan.

    The plan: When anyone needs to make an update, they go to me with their updates and then I submit a "ticket" to the computer folk. The help desk reviews the ticket and then assigns it to a tech. The tech makes the changes and then emails me to let me know the changes have been made.

    I needed to update an email address, and by that I mean....add a "." to the name of the email address. In the time it would have taken me to email someone my "ticket" information, I made the change. I'm probably going to get into trouble for making something happen MUCH quicker than it would have taken the IT department.

    That's how asinine my job can be.

    Or, you know, try to get anything done on a Wednesday or Friday at any military installation. Gah, what a relaxed schedule.

    Three unnecessary apostrophes in a single Facebook status? That's simply too many. You're killing me here.

    briefly, i entertained the prospect of heading straight into the last one.
    but then i thought: gin and tonic.

    Ugh, I was hoping you'd go all Lawnmower Man on me. You didn't. And I can't party with that, Yowl.

    God, just wait until you start reading 50 Shades of Grey AND end up doing a silly thread together with me.

    It'll be all aliterate-guy-on-bad-writing-with-book-editor. You're probably going to want to step up the booze.

    My mind has been fried by trying to find open-source/Creative Commons resources for teaching high school English in a hot room. It's like Bikram for the brain. Ugh.

    i started reading 50 shades of gra/ey. i couldn't get through the first page so awful is the writing. it made me pine for the finely tuned prose of dan brown, minimalist.

    ok so some of the above is a lie.
